And finally, how many of the other employees make DL a career compared to the pilot group? You can say what you want, but the pilots have been left out in the cold with respect to what we had and what we gave up. Not even close.
All our furloughed pilots are back. Those ground employee jobs are gone forever. A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
If however we as pilots feel that the ground employees and F/A's should be our benchmark then let's go to management and demand the same relative standard of pay and productivity relative to the competition the ground employees are getting. We will have a contract done in days and a incredibly happy management team.
